secret santa

Thank heavens for my allotment. Fresh air and exercise every day and people to talk to on neighbouring plots 2 metres away. Potatoes are in and the whole allotments have never looked so neat !

The 1 over 1 is standard on F36 (bronzed copper proof) and F37A (copper proof) but not on F37 bronze proof.

That's the key post - many thanks Mike.

having now seen the 3rd page of Iain Dracott's article (the rarity list), it appears that the S prefix was established by Ron Stafford, a collector that I have now lost touch with.

Gary Schindler tells me that Mal Lewendon created a Compact disc reference about 14-15 years ago for halpennies - does anyone have that CD or its contents ?

Here's an example of the first 1 over 1. Also 6+G.

I have printed off the Dracott article but I can't work out what the "S" reference is with regard to the obverse and reverse types, e.g. Obverse 1A has F1* and S1. I presume 1A is Dracott's identifier, 1* is Freeman's but what is S1 ?

Thanks for all the information guys - got a few weeks' worth of work to do now..........................

Thanks to those who tried to get Dracott info to me but I couldn't connect to dropbox.

Very interesting - thanks Mike.

very useful - thanks

No - can you supply ?

Paddy, could you provide the link again, please.

Now, I may get labelled a killjoy but I'd like to suggest that members try to stick to the subject of the posting category if we want to attract other collectors to this website. A person viewing Predecimal for the first time and checking out the "More Pennies" section will currently be met with umpteen pictures of the sun and may well write it off as a waste of time. If it weren't for Ian's pictures of the various ship types, there wouldn't be a relevant post on this page. I'm all for the occasional witticism and the "Things to make us laugh" section has had some wonderful one-liners recently that I've laughed out loud at. Feel free to disagree but please do it politely.

I'll probably have the time now they've closed my golf course.

Paddy, you left out the crucial 2 doors out.

With this ban on sport, I'm really missing playing in goal for my local football team - it's the only way I can keep a clean sheet at my age......

Great news - I've just had this email from the Ingrams "We are still operating, and as long as health and circumstances permit, we will carry on doing so."

I wasn't being sarcastic.

Seriously outrageous.

Perhaps they should be referred to this site ?????

I've just discovered the sun shining onto the date of an 1863 penny. Must be a die clash of border teeth, I guess.

Trump's existence is proof enough.

but not so hot at bronze ??????

Oooh aaah, me old pal, me old beauty.
